Mount St. Helens and Seattle

Okay, so we’ve all heard about the latest rumblings ^[1] down yonder, but if Mount St. Helens ^[2] were to erupt ^[3], what would it mean to us here up north? Might it trigger ^[4] earthquakes ^[5]? Will the skies turn gray ^[6]? Or will we be merely spectators?
There’s little evidence to suggest that any eruption will do anything except alter flight patterns of aircraft, but for some reason, I still feel just a tad uneasy.
